Traditionally, global skylines have gone dark and millions of individuals have turned off their lights for Earth Hour as a symbolic gesture to their commitment to preserving our planet. On our shores, more than 740 locations around Singapore have pledged to participate in the Lights Out activity.
However, going a step further, WWF Singapore is taking a different approach this year. We are living in unprecedented times and now more than ever we need to take care of ourselves and one another, while also looking internally to see how we can contribute to reversing nature loss and protecting our planet. As such, the Singapore Kosong Plan was launched to help bring together businesses, organisations and individuals together to help achieve a low carbon, climate -resilient Singapore, with the end goal of having net-zero emissions by 2050.
What is the Kosong Plan?
The Singapore Kosong Plan is a commitment that can bring together businesses, organisations and individuals together to help achieve a low carbon, climate -resilient Singapore, with the end goal of having net-zero emissions by 2050.
The aim of Kosong Plan is to encourage people to adopt everyday actions to help our climate, using the concept of ‘living with less’.
WWF Singapore has planned for Earth Hour 2021 to be a digital campaign focused on bringing schools, communities, businesses and organisations together for a low carbon, climate-resilient Singapore. Earth Hour is no longer just about saving electricity, but one of the largest grassroots movements for the environment in the world. It acts as a symbol of unity and of power in collective action.
The Kosong Plan covers five broad areas which the community can take action to reduce their carbon emissions. For individuals, the areas are:
- Eating Consciously
- Shop Responsibly
- Travel Sustainably
- Choosing Renewable Energy
- Restore Nature
For example, individuals can choose to eat less meat, since agriculture is one of the largest causes for carbon emissions. They could also choose to stick to public transport or walk whenever possible.
WWF Singapore has also released a series of videos titled ‘My Kosong Plan’, which follows the journey of Eileen Chong, a filmmaker, as she meets up with different people to find out more about climate change and what we can do as individuals. The three-part video covers individuals who share more on how they are helping the environment in their own ways.
